Can I be a pilot or opt for the license if I wear glasses?

Absolutely, there is a minimal issue. There is a requirement that if you need glasses, then you must carry 2 pairs with you at all times. Here is an extract from the CASA Designated Aviation Medical Examiner's Handbook. Professional Flight Crew and ATCs For all professional flight crew and ATC: 6/9, corrected if necessary, in each eye separately. Additionally, the acuity must be 6/6 or better when tested with both eyes open. Applicants with high refractive corrections (i.e. greater than +/-5 dioptres) should be advised of the possible complications, which may affect their vision, and of the implications for their aviation careers, particularly their increased statistical chance of retinal detachment.
